Is office 2000 pro sr-1 ok to run with windows xp

Yes, but you're a few service packs behind because Office 2000 is up to
SP4 now.

Coming back to the initial question, what could be the
reason for Office 2000 Programs not to run on Windows XP
Professional even if after the installation a window pop
up confirmed the installation was completed.

Here is some info on my particular situation. The computer
(laptop) on which I am trying to install Office 2000 was
part of my wife severance package and was done in a very
upfront and legal way by her company (large international
cie). The agreement was that only the Windows XP
Professional OS was to be left on the laptop with some of
her personnal files.

I installed Office 2000 (was runnig great on my old laptop
with Win98-SE)on her laptop and at the end of the process
I was informed in a window pop that the installation was
completed. Also the files that were in a different format
before the installation can now be seen with the Word and
Excel regular icon. The problem is that when I click
directly on the Program in the Start menu or directly on a
file, nothing happens. Well not exactly, I see the
hourglass appear for a fraction of a second and it goes
away. I never get an error message of any kind.

I tried reinstalling and doing a repair, but its still the
same.

Considering that the configuration of the laptop was done
by the IT group of the company were my wife used to work,
would there be something in that configuration or
something else that I should look at, other then the
Office installation.

Though I can use all of the applications (Word, Excel,
Power Point etc...) I do not feel I have the knowledge to
get out of a situation if ever I encounter a problem while
upgrading to an other SP. So for now an upgrade is not an
option.

Thank you in advance.
